Month: April 2010

Grandpa, Grandma, Tom & Jenny, Tommy and Annaleah were here to color eggs with us this year, and the kids (as always) had so much fun.

I boiled 5 dozen eggs, and two of them cracked while boiling. Then if I remember correctly we only had 2 dropped during the egg coloring, which is pretty good. 🙂

Last year Kyle had gotten out our raw eggs to color as well, since the kids colored all of the boiled eggs so fast. And going to the fridge to get eggs last year was not fun, because only Kyle and I knew which we boiled and which were raw. So this year Kyle colored 2 raw eggs, and just for a joke he used the wax crayon to write ‘raw’ on them before dipping them in the color.

Well Debby & Jeff finally tied the knot and all I can say is I’m glad it’s finally over! I spent the past couple of months making cakes and cake balls to prepare for the wedding, and the past day or so I thought I would never be done with the cake balls!

I love this picture of Dad walking Debby to the building.

All 4 of Debby’s niece’s got to be flower girls:

Tyra was just soaking up the attention, she is such a social butterfly.

Dinah loved spilling flower petals everywhere. 🙂

I had to escort Chloe down the aisle since she can’t walk yet and that was terrifying! All I can say is I’m glad that Kyle and I were married in the temple and that I didn’t have to walk down any aisle to get to my wedding. 😉

Annaleah was the fourth flower girl, but I couldn’t find a decent picture of her in her tutu. She was throwing a fit when it came time for the flower girls to walk, and Tom got to escort her down the aisle. Then as soon as the wedding was over she stripped her tutu right off!

After the wedding Kyle and I missed the luncheon because we ran home to finish the cakes up and bring them over to the wedding. And let me just say that it takes FOREVER to finish something when the phone is ringing every 5 minutes or so, because somebody (always someone different, but occasionally the same person) keeps calling to find out if you’re done and when you’re coming back! I actually had a meltdown during one such phone call. Kyle answered all the calls because everyone was calling his cell phone, and finally when Patsy called for the second time, I yelled over to the phone ‘How are we supposed to get anything done when the phone keeps ringing and we have to keep answering it!”

The top two layers are actually rice krispie treats covered in fondant, and they look beautiful! We had some issues with the bottom layer, and it actually looks a bit odd compared to the other two layers. Kyle read somewhere that you’re supposed to freeze the cake before icing it to keep it from crumbling, and I think that I’m going to try that next time. But hey I MADE a beautiful wedding cake!

And here are the cake balls:

They truly are beautiful. Perfect little bite sized pieces of cake. And I’m glad they actually got finished before the wedding.

Kyle and I also made the mint julip for the reception, and I had made an ice cream sheet cake, but I was so rushed and stressed about trying to get it to the reception that I totally forgot to take pictures of that.

Aren’t they so cute?

This morning Tiffany came upstairs to show everyone that her pants ripped when she tried to put them on:

As you can see, by Patsy’s holding of the torn pants, it’s a really bad rip. It starts out on the seam, but it didn’t stay along the seam so there’s no way to fix them.

Then later Patsy went downstairs to get dressed, but she came back upstairs saying “OH MY GOSH! MY PANTS RIPPED!” Then she jumped out the basement door shaking her booty at us saying “APRIL FOOLS!” She was fully clothed, but she got us good. It was funny. 🙂
